Rovio, publisher of Angry Birds: The new Walt Disney?

Atypical leader in mobile gaming, because it is all about a single brand and its games are mostly paid, Rovio has built a profitable empire. Made of 45% of products bearing the effigy of Angry Birds .

Do not be daunted by the success of Candy Crush Saga , free app of the year at the Apple Store in 2013. Rovio, and games Angry Birds is still one of the leading mobile gaming. The company celebrates its tenth anniversary this month. And four years of its flagship franchise, the one that introduced him success. Angry Birds , the most downloaded paid app of all time. Which you are likely to hear during the holidays, Candy Crush or not! In fact, Rovio, are also dozens of products, including a number of toys that will land at the foot of the tree. In addition it is great, Rovio knows Santa, Finnish like him. And each year the company made ​​a misery at Christmas. In 2012, December 25, she recorded 8,000,000 downloads reminds VentureBeat .

The mobile game sector in turmoil

Rovio operates in a sector, the mobile game growing. IDC and App Annie market (excluding handhelds) expected to be approximately $ 6 billion in 2013. In 2014, IDATE estimates that represent 7.6 billion euros. Smartphones and tablets are by far become the preferred platform mobile game for consumers, the latter particularly plebiscite Apple products.

While Rovio is still far from achieving the benefits of Japanese Gree ( Knights & Dragons, Kingdom Age, Monster Quest ...), which made ​​a net profit of $ 218 million during its last fiscal year, the Finnish is one of the most profitable companies in the sector. In 2012, she published a turnover of $ 195 million (more than doubled in one year) and a net profit of 71 million. This is three times more than the benefits of Gameloft, for example, and far ahead of Mojang ( Minecraft ) and $ 28 million loss. Early 2013, Rovio had more than 250 million monthly active users.

The law of contract: unattainable profitability or mega jackpot

Despite the excitement of this market, its players do not earn money, far from it. 90% of games available on Google Play and the App Store are free. In 2012, only two games in the Top 20 on the App Store were paid. The economic model that prevails today is the free-to-play or "freemium", which is to distribute the game for free, to pay for purchases in-app , which serve to enhance performance and enrich its experience To play this strategy to be profitable, it must reach a critical mass of players, because few are willing to pay and the average amounts paid are low.

Nevertheless, it is the model that is required. IDG expects sales of virtual goods should exceed 50% of income online market in 2016, and Newzoo believes that the free-to-play represents around 70% of European and American market. Although few believed in sustainability and profitability at the beginning, the success stories of Japanese GungHo Online or Finnish Supercell convinced otherwise. Puzzle & Dragons GungHo to generate $ 2.5 million per day, according to IDATE . The company, which publishes games for consoles and PC, achieved a net profit of $ 287 million in the first half of this year, reports La Tribune . Clash of Clans (SuperCell) meanwhile the returns from $ 2.4 million per day worldwide.

"The price of very low sales of these games do not, with rare exceptions, create a return on a single production. Companies must engage in a process of catalog production that requires large financial resources" notes SNJV (National Union of gaming). Strategy catalog is for example that Gameloft ( Despicable Me, GT Racing, Tank Battles ...).

According to an analyst quoted by La Tribune, "on the top 250, each download, including free game, reported an average of $ 0.93" . And according to IDATE, on average, 20 more games performance on the App Store generate revenue of nearly $ 4 per player over their entire lifetime.

Once the machine is running, the games are much more profitable they are not very expensive to produce. Clash of Clans would cost less than € 140,000 to produce in two months, according to Boy Genius Report . "The return on investment is extremely fast when it works. Supercell has raised $ 130 million this year, is to invest in a team of developers, who enriches the games as and when, and data mining, basic to successfully understand the player profiles and generate in-game purchases, "says Laurent Michaud, specialist video games at IDATE.

However, with the number of applications made available each day on the app stores, attention becomes increasingly difficult. Over 400 games and apps appear every day on smartphones and tablets, as SNJV. To stand out, you must communicate. "For every euro invested in the development, we must invest one euro in marketing," says Laurent Michaud. "It is at least as important as the quality of the game Rovio received a first mover, arriving when the visibility in the App Store was better."

Rovio's strategy paying and derivatives

Or free-to-play or logic catalog, Rovio has not the same strategy as the other big names in mobile gaming. His story shows that it is difficult to get a place on the market. Before Angry Birds , Finnish is "planted" with 51 games and came close to bankruptcy . Then success came, and here the company has decided to focus on paid and one brand, declined to infinity.

Thus Rovio launched nine games Angry Birds ( Rio, Space, Friends, Bad Piggies, Star Wars ...), and has extended its license to entertainment and publishing, worldwide. Licensed products now represent 45% of its turnover, which is huge. Rovio has partnered with Nokia including Mattel, Hasbro, or Activision recently released Angry Birds Star Wars console. The nasty birds were small, and can be found in the full range of merchandising: mugs, stuffed animals, clothing, key rings, shells for smartphones, games ... There is also a cartoon of 52 episodes and a feature film is planned for 2016 . Most original, playgrounds open Angry Birds in Finland, Spain, the United Kingdom, China and the United States.

The admission officer, Disney is a model for Rovio. "The key is that we build a brand, and can live through a variety of channels of entertainment. We create loyalty to the franchise," said an officer of Rovio VentureBeat . "This strategy is quite unique, Laurent Michaud analysis. Leverage a single universe is actually quite risky, but it is a strategy in line with the experience that people want to know, and with the air. Their goal is to work on a continual enrichment of the brand. "

For now, success is always waiting for you

Rovio deliberately put everything on Angry Birds . When he released Amazing Alex in 2012, a game that had nothing to do, the sound was much less successful. After a few weeks he left the top 10 of the App Store, then that Angry Birds stayed there two years!

Yet the success of Angry Birds can not be denied. At the moment Angry Birds Star Wars II is ranked 13 ^th of paid apps on the iPhone in the United States (59 ^th on Google Play), and the year 2013, Angry Birds Star Wars ranks 4 ^th and 5 on iPhone ^e iPad.

However Rovio attempts a foray into the free-to-play, with his latest, Angry Birds Go , a free game kart compatible with "Telepods" Hasbro, the same model as the game Skylanders , which s' is classified in the United States 2 ^e all categories combined apps on the iPhone, and 6 ^th on Google Play. Not bad for a first.

Football Manager 14: foul by Electronic Arts!

The "Football Manager 14" is on everyone's lips - to the chagrin of publisher Electronic Arts.

More than ten years was the "Football Manager" the favorite of football fans with PC. But when "FM 14" Everything is different: the simulation is in forums and social networks in the pillory. Rip off is the accusation. Especially looking at the website of retailer Amazon shipping is devastating: On average, customers awarded one and a half stars out of five, 120 of 138 reviewers reviewing times with a star (as of November 11, 2013).

Savings program

How did it happen? Previously developer Bright Future was known to make his game in close cooperation with the customer - the community always acted as a think tank. This is not so in the 14 version. The reason: There is no further development. The " Football Manager 14 "is almost exclusively a database update. The fall of the longtime fans, of course, immediately: "Stay away from the game: only new database updates - in essence still FM13," warns users about DhPointarts on YouTube. He is one of many.

After sustained criticism, publisher Electronic Arts was forced to react. In a press release EA clarifies: "The" Football Manager 14 "includes - unlike the previous versions - no fundamentally new features, but primarily an update of the extensive database. This has been communicated appropriately, both to the press, on the product packaging and in the trade as well as on the official website. "

Missing licenses

That is correct, only with the buyers which is obviously not arrived. And they have more negatives: While the licenses are current, but not as extensive as in the "Football Manager 13". So missing the Second Division and the regional leagues in Germany. For gamers who deal intensively with the matter does not fall under the small stuff. HSV-Shooting Star Hakan Calhanoglu came about from the Third Division to the north of KSC Club. A great coup. Such transfers are still possible, but it is without the original kicker. It is not an oversight. EA confirms: "EA SPORTS has the license agreement for the Second Division and the regional leagues with the German Football Association (DFB) is not extended."

The Schrumpfkur also affects other parts of the program. The Live Season feature used in previous versions of the actual operating results, scorers, injuries and player notes in the database. Thus it was possible to own the club to take over exactly in real condition. In "Football Manager 14" function is canceled.

What is it worth?

This applies to the annoyance of the buyer not for the bugs. For a smooth experience on Windows 8, the "Football Manager 14" requires the compatibility mode. Savoury: The problem know many amateur Manager from the predecessor. Therefore, many players the price / performance ratio question. "Overall, maybe worth five euros - if ever," Amazon customer Janosch writes clearly with a dose of anger inside "These are the best football manager for the browser The recommended retail price is 39 euros. Although this is cheaper than the "Football Manager" in the past, but how much money is worth a game that consists mainly of upgraded licenses? EA sees the "FM 14" an offer that "the fans and especially the newcomers [allows] to play a high-quality and current product for another year." 

The Causa "Football Manager 14" is so much more than the question of whether Electronic Arts has everything communicating properly. A loss of image for the series is apparently occurred.And that is a big question mark over the future. What is next? "Currently we can take this No further statements," says EA. Understandable, but optimism sounds different.

Currently, almost no alternative

Similarly nebulous, the reasons which led to the decision to have "FM 14" to publish as an update.Speculated the community: the sale of Bright Future Travian Games Seemed to negative impact on the cooperation? If the sales figures anymore? On demand from COMPUTER GAMES Electronic Arts BLD referred these theories to the realm of fables. However, another explanation is not supplied.

For many football fans posed by current development of "FM" but a practical problem: where are the alternatives? A similar product is available on the German market that is simply not. Sega may not distribute the highly regarded abroad "Football Manager" series in this country. Debt is an exclusive licensing deal between Electronic Arts and the German Football League (DFL). It only remained to many online manager like "communion", "hat trick" and "Top Eleven" are left to dodge. Would be desirable, however, that Bright Future reconciled with the community and the "FM" is back to its former strength.

Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag: Full speed ahead

"Black Flag" is "Assassin's Creed" finally the open-world game that it should always be. So big and beautiful has never fought an assassin!

Ship ahoy! In "Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag" They play the pirate Edward Kenway.

Ubisoft game designer Patrice Désilets once said to mark the release of "Assassin's Creed 2": "Finding your way as a developer of historical events, makes things much easier. One must not think of everything yourself, "This is remarkably honest -., And is not only on the historical setting of the series, but also on their 

Gameplay transferred. For years, Ubisoft copied his own game concept with only minimal changes. And the point: Much new makes "Assassin's Creed 4" not. The good news: "Black Flag" almost makes it all better!

At the cutting edge

Abstergo Industries Animus owner has discovered the economic potential of its virtual reality machine: He uses recently as a pure entertainment medium - not unlike a video game. You take the role of an employee who is virtually the beta testers. Ironic: Because Abstergo assess the pirate scenario as particularly entertaining (and profitable), this time you jump into the body of the buccaneer Edward Kenway. Assumes the identity of a dead Assassin - Duncan Walpole - and uses its achievements and contacts in order to build a new life as a pirate. His goal, of course, immense wealth. For that you travel with your ship Jackdaw the seven seas - which were of course compressed in the game to an appropriate size for the game.

In abundance

The traveling the world by ship and the associated battles are essential in "Assassin's Creed 4" - which is no surprise. With the "Assassin's Creed 3" element was introduced namely the players so well that Ubisoft Part 4 has quasi knit it. Fortunately, these sections are extremely successful. The Jackdaw beautifully animated slides over the waves, the service is impeccable: Ubisoft manages the feat that the ship is indeed weighty feel, but does not control sedate. To sail merrily straight on and explore the extensive island world in which there is certainly much to discover. For "Black Flag" is a feast for Sammelwütige. On the islands you browse for a bottle along with treasures and feel chests, sea shanties, Animus fragments, manuscripts and more. Later, you go even by diving bell on the seabed and search under constant threat Hai-wrecks. Then, "Assassin's Creed 4" on the mammoth task with a playing time of over 80 hours - according to developers statement. As in "Far Cry 3" They hunt animals and crafts from the skin a new holster for more ammunition or a cowl for a health upgrade.

The regular ship battles are nicely staged, the service is impeccable.

Water Damage

Regularly meet with the quiet times, sometimes stormy or foggy waters of Spanish or British ships, with which you can create yourself. And you have to make sooner or later your boat seaworthy. A large part of the resources - such as wood and metal - find namely on board enemy ships. The intense battles always run the same pattern: attack, weaken, board, plunder! Boring but the whole is not, because the battles are demanding more and more - and see just great from. So you do not drown yourself too often, you increase your ship regularly. You can do this on board or at the quartermasters on the islands. Does your crew growth, collect drowning, hiring privateers in taverns or save them from conflict with the colonial powers.

Nothing has changed

The country operations - which make up about half of the game - run exactly like that of the predecessor: In the very detailed villages and towns full of life, birds chirping in chapels sound gospel songs, laugh and privateers gamble cards. The game world feels authentic and beautiful especially. If you stand on top of the Nassau Citadel and look into the distance, you stay off the spit. Only some character models are animated and some strange detaillos. It's easy to get over the face of the chic trappings.

The bat-Counter battles are still not at the "Batman - Arkham" zoom range.

Stitch and Jump

The well-known already from the predecessors gameplay comes ashore to support: On your search for gold and when inserting diving in a global conspiracy to eavesdrop on enemies, perform numerous assassinations and advised at every corner in battles with Spanish and British. Here comes the - from the "Batman - Arkham" series inspired - Combat System. This works quite well in combat, with multiple counterparties it works but still confused and inaccurate. The reloading of pistols and shotguns is faster than the previous, but still felt lasts forever - this would Ubisoft can still whistle on authenticity. If you have no desire to skirmish, escape is an alternative: you throw a smoke bomb and looking over the rooftops run away, so the attackers lose your track. As usual, you climb buildings spurted by pressing the shoulder button. Edward erkraxelt obstacles automatically and then plunges by itself at enemies who go silently fail. However, the game is still not a perfect simulation course, too often interrupts the Hop River.

Beautiful: Sometimes you are in the jungle and in underground temples go.

Is again quiet again, make sure to remain incognito. This works thanks to optimized creep mechanics irregular. New on the stealth front is the blowpipe, with the stun enemies for a short time. Old but proven is the eagle eye, you put in many missions: mark so adversary in order not to lose it.

Indiana Kenway

So all familiar? Not all! Now and then Ubisoft dares times new: How to bounce along with Captain Kidd on the overgrown island Tulum by an underground temple and solve finally a head butt puzzles in order to reach a well hidden Templar artifact - "Tomb Raider" Greetings from ! Overall, the missions are exciting, as many surprises as in "GTA 5" but you do not experience. There are many more side missions than in the rock-star adventure. In addition to the Assassin's orders, where you eliminate a certain target as inconspicuously as possible, destroy the ship coastal forts, free hostages or intercept important courier. Have to do more PS3 (and upcoming PS4) owners. Ubisoft which donated three additional missions from the - Aveline de Grandpré known "Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation".

Conclusion: Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag

A huge open world, thrilling naval battles, an opulent major and minor story for "Assassin's Creed" fans who do not have the pirate theme weary, Part 4 is a must - especially since Ubisoft improves slightly messed up creep mechanism of the third part palpable. Only the overly simple sword fights in the long run still monotonous. Sammelwütige players who like "Far Cry 3" made happy. In the digital Caribbean, there is much to discover. Fascinating also the sense of space that arises when traveling by boat - is unequaled in gaming! The bottom line is: Even if "Black Flag" Innovation does not win a prize, it is the largest to date and best game in the series.
